Find two rational numbers between \(\frac{1}{5}\)and \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
Answer» For finding rational numbers between two numbers: Add the numbers are divide by 2, this will give a number between the numbers. Now take the new number and add with any of the numbers and repeat the process. You can keep on repeating the process and new numbers will be obtained. A rational number lying between \(\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{2}}{2}\) = \((\frac{\frac{2+5}{10}}{2})\) = \(\frac{7}{20}\) Now, A rational number between \(\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{7}{20}}{2}\) = \((\frac{\frac{4+7}{20}}{2})\) = \(\frac{11}{40}\) Hence, The two rational numbers lying between \(\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) are \(\frac{7}{20}\) and \(\frac{11}{40}\) |
